Child Beating
Draws 180 Days
PORTLAND (U.R) Municipal
Judge J. J. Quillin called John
Archuleta, 26, "the most con
temptible" man he had seen in his
court as he dealt the maximum as
sault and battery sentence to the
construction worker and ex-pugilist
Monday for beating 2 '4-year-old
Linda Riley.
As Judge Quillin sentenced
Archuleta to 180 days in jail and
fined him $500, he said: "I believe
you are not telling the truth when
you say you did not strike the
child hard with your fists. I think
you are not only the most guilty
man I have seen here, but also the
most contemptible."
The Defense
Archuleta contended he spanked
the child lightly and that she had
been injured in a fall in the bath
tub.
Policemen testified they found
the child brutally beaten in the
home occupied by the defendant
and Thelma Riley, 21, the child's
mother.
Archuleta and Thelma Riley
also were bound over to the coun
ty grand jury on charges of illicit
cohabitation.
Accomplice Sentenced
Pablo Edward Garcia, 21, also
charged with assault and battery
against the little girl, was sen
tenced to 180 days In county jail.
He pleaded not guilty and denied
he had signed a statement admit
ting beating the child. The two
men were further accused of beat
ing Larry Riley, Linda's twin
brother. This charge was not
heard. Linda now is in a foster
home. Her brother is being treated
at Doernbecher Hospital.

PHILADELPHIA (P) Ore
gon's convention delegation is
lined up behind .President Tru
man's civil rights and Anti-Taft
Hartley law platform planks.
In their first caucus since ar
riving for the Democratic round
up the delegation Monday also
decided not to vote as a unit.
The decision to allow split vot
ing, Instead of all 16 votes going
the way of a majority, may result
in splitting of the delegation be
cause of a release from the pri
mary pledge to vote for Justice
Douglas.
The motion opposing the Taft-
Hartley Law was made by John
O. Chatt, Eugene, and seconded
by Don Stansell, Medford, an AFL
official. Its support was unani
mous.
Roy W. Hewitt of Salem, deleea
tion vice chairman, presided at the
caucus. Chairman T. R. Mahoney
participated.
In London authoritative
government sources said Brit
ain was preparing to increase
greatly tne number , or men
and aircraft assigned to the
air lift.
In announcing the plane step-up
last night, U. S. Air Force head
quarters in Washington said the
nine additional skymasters will
bring to 160 the total of two and
four engine transports at Amer
ican disposal in Germany.
New Air Strip
Workmen at Templehof dumped
tons of rubble into an excavation
for an additional runway. Air
Force officers said the new 500
foot landing strip would be large
enough to accommodate huge B-29
bombers but added that there was
no need for using B-29s in the
present operation.
The new runway is being
built parallel to the old one and
will give the field two all-weather
and one grass landing strip. It will
take six weeks to compete the new
strip.
Steady Flow ,
Despite bad weather at Frank
furt Tuesday both U.S. and British
planes were arriving in Berlin on
schedule bringing food and essen
tial supplies from western Germany.
The Russians' Berlin newspaper,
Taegliche Rundschau, said the
western Allies' air operation was
being carried out "without regard
for the nerves and repose of mil
lions of persons who have not yet
forgotten the terror of bomb at
tacks" and described the air ferry
ing service as the "circus parades
on Templehof Airport."
Hauling Coal
Arthur Henderson, British Sec
retary of State for Air, said Rus
sia will have to bear the blame for
the economic paralysis "bound to
be felt with increasing severity"
in Berlin. .
Here on an inspection tour, Hen
derson told newsmen the British
American air armada "cannot at
course maintain the economic
standard" of the city although
food supplies can be kept up.
He said the British planned to
open a second airbase at Fassberg,
in the British zone, to be devoted
entirely to the lift.
RAF planes thus far have flown
in 2000 loads of supplies and soon
plan to join American aircraft in
hauling coal, Henderson said,
He said that for security reasons
he would not disclose the tonnages
brought in by the British. Up to
Monday night the U.S. Air Force
had carried 11,006 tons in 2721
flights.
Holy Land Truce
Hope Growing
Despite Battle
US Demands -Enforced
Truce
LAKE SUCCESS OP) The
United States formally demanded
Tuesday that the United Nations
order an immediate end of the Pal
estine war and, if necessary, back
that vacancy.
In the strongest proposal yet
laid before the Security Council,
the U.S. demanded that the cease
fire become effective not later than
three days after the adoption
of the resolution.
Britain Agrees
If either the Jews or the Arabs
refused to obey the order, they
would automatically be held re
sponsible for a breach of the peace
and subject to all penalties pro
vided in the U.N. Charter.
Earlier British sources said
Britain is now ready to join strong
United Nations action to stop the
Palestine fighting.
Calls for Action
Previous Russia n-American
moves for forceful action in the
Holy Land crisis were blocked
largely because of British oppo
sition. The shift in British policy was
reported as the Security Council
was called into emergency session
to hear Count Folke Bernadotte
outline his views.
Bernadotte said the council must
issue a firm order for an imme
diate cease-fire and make it clear
that the use of force by either
party in Palestine would not be
tolerated further.

By The Associated Press
A person associated with the
Israeli foreign ministry said Tues
day there seemed every reason to
expect a new Palestine truce by
Saturday.
The Israeli army and the crack
troops of the Trans-Jordan Arab
Legion were fighting an increas
ingly violent battle within sight of
Er Ramie and Lydda for supre
macy of the road from Tel Aviv to
Jerusalem. Both cities and an esti
mated 80,000 Arabs in them sur
rendered to the' Jews Monday. The
Legion counterattacked with tanks
and artillery and scored some in
itial success before Israeli lines
congealod. ' ' 1 . '
Rejected
The informant in Tel Aviv pre
dicted a new armistice would come
from modified proposals Count
Folke Bernadotte is expected to
place before the United Nations.
Jews and Arabs both rejected his
proposals last week.
The mediator flew to Lake Suc
cess and pleaded before the Secur
ity Council that halting the war is
the first essential. He personally
asked U.S., and British delegates
to press for council action.
'Captive Mine'
Strike Over
WASHINGTON W) Justice
T. Allan Goldsborough Tuesday
announced settlement of the
strike in "captive" steel company
coal mines.
Goldsborough said representa
tives of the steel industry and of
John L. Lewis' United Mine Work
ers had agreed to accept the same
coal contract signed recently by
the rest of the coal industry.
The judge told reporters there
is one condition the UMW agrees
to modify its union shop clause in
the new agreement if the provision
eventually is ruled illegal by the
National Labor Relations Board.
At his news conference, Golds
borough said the 40,000 miners in
the steel industry-owned "captive"
pits will return to work Wednes
day morning. They have been idle
for a week.
Spies Charged
In Croatia Court
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia OP)
The Croatia supreme court heard
charges Tuesday against 50 ac
cused "spies and terrorists." The
indictment charged the Vatican
with abetting the defendants and
British-American occupation au
thorities with harboring them.
The mass trial opened Monday
in Zagreb. Chief defendant is
Ljubo Milosh, former Ustachi
commander accused of responsi
bility for the death of more than
200,000 persons during the Ger
man occupation.
The accused are part of a group
of 95 whom the Croatian interior
ministry said had been picked up
by security police as they enter
ed Yugoslavia during the past
year.
Accused
They are accused of setting out
to disrupt communications, plun
der warehouses and cooperatives,
destroy the Yugoslav five-year
plan and finally to overthrow by
armed rebellion, with outside
help, the existing order in Yugoslavia.
Agents Helped
The indictment said the defend
ants were under direct command
of the former puppet dictator of
Croatia, Ante Pavelic, who is re
ported still at large.
The documents declared the ac
cused "with the help of agents of
foreign espionage and trustees of
the Vatican, started forming spy
terrorist groups."
General Strike
Feared in Paris;
Traffic Tied Up
Cabinet Strikes
Back With Decree
PARIS iP) France faced Tues
day a threatened general strike of
government employes which may
eventually involve as many
1,000,000 persons.
Some airport personnel already
have walked out, causing a
spreading tieup of plane traffic in
France and French North Africa.
Premier Robert Schuman's cabi
net hit back quickly with a degree
which in effect mobilized striking
weather and radio men and made
them liable to penalties for deser
tion if they failed to report for
work.
The civil mobilization measure,
apparently prepared hours ahead
of the airport strike, may fore
shadow the cabinet's plans for
breaking the whole series of stop
pages. The cabinet has rejected
union demands for higher wages
for low salary groups of govern
ment workers. The strike at the
airfields was not complete.
Plane Crashes
An Air France plane en a flight
from Tunis crash-landed and
burned at Orly Field here Mon
day night soon after the walkout
of airport workers began. It was
not immediately determined,
however, whether there was any
connection between the accident
and the airport workers strike,
The French news agency said
one woman was hospitalized. It
added that the plane overshot the
landing strip and hit the ground
so heavily that the tail and one
engine broke from the fuselage.
One report said failure of the
plan's hydraulic landing gear
caused the accident. . - ,
A dispatch from Tunis said the
airport workers' walkout had halt
ed plane traffic in the North
African city. KLM, Royal Dutch
Airlin-is, announced in the Hague
that it was suspending all air ser
vice to France. British European
airways in London said its six
flights would not be sent to Paris
Tuesday unless the walkout is
settled. '
Unlike last winter's labor un
rest, the new strike movement is
being led by the cabinet's anti
Communist allies the chiefs of the
workers' force movement which
split from the Communist-led
general confederation of labor in
January. This time thj confed
eration is joining in the walkouts
but is not leading them.

POLITICAL SOOTHSAYERS Tuesday called this ticket
"the" obvious outcome" later in the week when Democrats
in Philadelphia actually vote on their choice of candidates.
Harry Truman is expected to weather any new attempts
to bypass 'him, and Alben Barkley of Kentucky looked
good late Tuesday to most delegates, for the number two
spot.
Barkley Predicted

PHILADELPHIA (UP) The Rules committee of the
Democratic national convention Tuesday rejected an attempt
by southern delegates' to reinstate the rule requiring a two
thirds majority to nominate candidates, thus almost assuring
nomination of Harry Truman and Alben Barkley.

Dixie Resists
Any Civil Rights
PHILADELPHIA W Sharp
southern opposition to a tentatively-approved
civil rights plank
Tuesday darkened hopes of .Dem
ocratic party leaders as averting
a bitter convention floor battle
on this issue.
Dixie leaders let it be known
that the plank, described as a
"strong" statement on the race is
sue, was "entirely unsatisfactory
to the south."
General Terms
This opposition was expressed
as an 18-member subcommittee
prepared to lay its proposed ver
sion of the 1948 platform before
the full 108-member platform
committee. The big group must
approve it before it can be laid
before the convention.
Southern members of the full
committee declared that unless
changes are made to suit them,
they will carry their fight to the
full convention, probably Wednesday.
Phrased only in general terms,
the civil rights plank was report
ed to omit the far-reaching states'
rights' declaration that angry 1 1 would accept under any condi-

The plump for Barkley was an
nounced by Democratic National
Chairman J. Howard McGrath at
a news conference. Asked if there
had been agreement on a candi
date to run with Mr. Truman,
McGrath replied:
Truman Willing
"I can only say that if the Dem
ocratic convention sees fit to nom
inate Senator Barkley, President
Truman will be most happy to
welcome him as his running
mate."
That meant it will be a Truman-
Barkley ticket in the coming cam
paign against the GOP's Dewey-
Warren team.
McGrath indicated he had not
received definite assurance from
Barkley that he would accept sec
ond place on the ticket.
"You ladies and gentlemen,"
McGrath told reporters, "are go
ing to have to spend the rest of
the day trying to get Senator
Barkley to answer that question."
Barkley, as he left for Conven

make up his mind before saying
whether he would accept,
"I don't want to seem evasive,"
he told reporters, "but I've got
to make up my own mind whether
Alcohol Plant Up

The war built plant to make I made through
alcohol from wood waste at president of

tration Aug. 20, the Associated
Press reported from Washington
D. C. Tuesday.
Rep. Harris Ellsworth said the
WAA will open bids on that date
for the Willamette Valley Wood
Chemical Co. plant built at a cost
of $3,000,000.
Ellsworth said a number of in
dustrial representatives have sur
veyed the plant. It is expected
that several may make offers.
Local Men Hopeful
Currently a group of Willam
ette Valley Lumbermen are at
tempting to raise $500,000 to
make the necessary changes in the
plant and bid for it, according to
H. J. Cox, secretary-manager of
the Willamette Valley Lumber
men's Assn. The new company is
headed by James Morrell, Oswego,
and tot date $175,000 has been
raised. It is expected that the
sum will be assured by Aug. 15,
Cox said
John R. Snellstrom, president of
the Eugene Chamber of Commerce
said Tuesday a joint dinner meet
ing of industry committees from
the Eugene and Springfield Cham
bers of Commerce has been ar
ranged for Tuesday, July 27.
Representatives of the lumber
industry from Portland will at
tend, and Rep. Ellsworth will be
present to outline the history and
prospects of the plant. Arrange
ment! for tht Joint meeting were
graded varieties.
- Lewis Clark, Eugene poultry
man and chairman of a special egf
marketing committee, said:
"Most eggs sold in the state
are ungraded. Some of them are
inedible, and It's damaging con
sumption. . Oregon poultrymen
must sell on quality to compete.
If we can't compete, we might
as well throw egg trading regu
lations out the window."
Marvin Sanders,
the Springfield
Chamber of Commerce, Lee Raish
chairman of the Springfield in
dustry committee and Ralph Ful-
brlght, chairman of the Eugene
industry committee.
At Least $500,000
Cox reported that engineering
changes in the plant have been
estimated at 100 to 150 thousand,
but that at least $500,000 must be
raised before the corporation can
bid for the plant. -
The plant, which was construct
ed in 1944 and sponsored by the
war Production Board, is for Ule
manufacture of ethyl alcohol and
other chemical products from
woodwaste. Varied .difficulties
arose, but none of them are believ
ed Insurmountable. Attempts at
production were undertaken in
1947 by a lessee, the Willamette
Valley Wood Chemical Co., al
though 'the plant was not yet
complete. The plant has been
abandoned by the lessee, and of
fered for sale or lease by WAA.
Lumbermen Interested in the
new venture believe that this pro
cess for the recovery of alcohol
and by-products is successful and
has been proven over a period of
years and at several locations in
Germany, Switzerland and Italy.
Technical study and experimental
operations over a number of years
by. the U. S. Forest Service has
proven the feasibility and eco
nomic justification of this venture,
they believe.

Soaring prices for livestock and
wholesale meat Tuesday pushed
the price of beefsteak and pork
chops still higher at retail butcher
shops.
A survey by United Press
showed that retail meat prices
have risen during the last two
weeks, and many retailers said
they expect still further price in
creases. Tops for Hogs
Hog prices at Chicago Monday
hit $30.50, equalling the all-time
high. Other record-breaking prices
for various grades of cattle and
hogs were recorded at many other
big livestock markets.
At New York, where wholesale
pork loins were selling as high as
65 cents a pound and choice beef
brought 62 cents, retailers said
they would have to raise their
prices to keep pace.
The sharp price rise across the
board was attributed to heavy
demand and short supply.
Average 3 Cents
Retailers said they had been
doing all they could to keep prices
down, and In many cases had
taken losses. The survey, a spot
check of 10 scattered cities,
showed that prices for seven meat
items had increased on an average
of about three cents a pound in
the last two weeks.
In the 10 cities, this was the
price picture:
